This is the first comprehensive account of The Duke Family (Group 2), to be published in the last 30 years. This book is a collaborative history of The Duke Family, genetic line Haplogroup I(M170) Group 2. Our migration from England to the American Colonies is covered in this work as well as our migration into many other territories.I believe our gateway ancestor to be William Ducke (Duke), born 1620, immigrant from Plymouth, England to the Virginia Colony, formerly, Warrosquyouke County. William was sponsored by Justinian Cooper. Justinian claimed the head-rights on William Ducke on October 24, 1639, however, William probably made the actual trip on "The George" during 1637. William Ducke settled in the Isle of Wight County, near the Old Cypress Swamp. Our first-born ancestor in colonial America, was John Duke, born in 1640. He married Elizabeth King, and the Group 2 Duke Family line was launched.This book utilizes multiple sources, as well as DNA, to document this line from 1620 to present. Sources include birth records, marriage records, death certificates, land deeds, family bibles, hospital records, tax records, church records, census documents, military paperwork, and a pythora of other sources. The Duke Family book contains data for approximately 7000 Duke family members plus many of their non-blood line, indirect associations.The narrative section on the family is extremely detailed, with each family member having a unique, identification number that can be cross-referenced for easier searches. To make searches even easier, the is a Duke Family book Vol 1.2, which contains nothing but the master record numbers and the associated Duke family member's name. It is not a requirement to purchase the 1.2 volume. It is simply an option.
